Shepherding The Flock

It's true, our sheep (aka children) need Shepherds.

Please sign up to help on these wonderful and important Sundays where the children and families take center stage and FUN is the name of the game.

Intergenerational worship is most exciting and moving when everyone participates!

The first Sunday in October is Worldwide Communion Day so we will continue with the theme of "This Is My Body". If that interests you or you have some ideas then sign up to be a Shepherd.

Sign up by leaving a comment here, speaking to me (Carrie) in person, or by email/phone.

September 1st Sunday Worship

On September 6th, there is not going to be a 1st Sunday worship service because....

SPARLING IS GOING CAMPING!!

It's Sparling United Church's bi-annual camping trip to Camp Morton for a weekend of family time and fun activities. Bring your tent and come stay at our Group Use Area site on Saturday, September 5 and stay for our outdoor church service and luncheon (bring your own lunch) on Sunday.

Can there be a better way to celebrate God's presence in our lives, than to spend time outdoors and with good friends!

Steve, Andrew, and I have rented a Yurt for the long weekend and we'll see you all there!

1st Sundays According To Andrew...

We were heading out the door this morning and Andrew saw that I had the 1st Sundays craft container ready to go into the car. He got excited & started singing, "It's Kids Church today! It's Kids Church today! Daddy needs to stay home--only kids today!" First, I reminded Andrew that Daddy helped with the craft on 1st Sundays. So, Andrew conceded that Daddy could indeed come. Phew. Next, I asked how he knew it was a 1st Sunday. He solemnly pointed at the craft container and would not say anything more about the subject.

After we got home from church I asked Andrew what his favourite part about today was. His response, "When we stained the glass. The was a lot of fun, Mommy."

I hope everyone enjoyed today. I'd love to hear more feedback about todays service. Leave me some comments!

Tomorrow is....

The First Sunday in August. That means it's First Sunday worship at Sparling. I've been planning all month and we have some fun stuff planned! Everyone can look forward to...

• Playing "Stump the Vicar"
